SORROW AND DISMAY: Illustrated Anti-War Poems of Captain Siegfried Sassoon<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Deluxe Gift Edition<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(hardcover<\/a>)\u00a0<\/em><\/span>and paperback<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sorrow and Dismay<\/em> is an illustrated meditation on the horror and stupidity of the Great War. The selected poems are by Siegfried Sassoon, a British officer. Sassoon documented trench warfare in poems soaked with pain. He confronted the reader with details of tedium and battle on the Western Front. He wrote with sarcasm on the motives of people in power and the absurdity of romantic views of war. He was masterful in capturing the language of soldiers and wartime trauma.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The images in this book complement Sassoon’s poems and are in sympathy with his anti-war views.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The deluxe edition is printed on acid-free, archival paper. Includes 44 war poems, 24 illustrations (color and BW), Foreword, and Index of First Lines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sassoon is one of sixteen World War I poets commemorated in the Poets’ Corner of Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

“My whole life was influenced by my long association with Jacob Riis, whom I am tempted to call the best American I ever knew.”\u00a0\u2014Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography<\/em><\/p>\r\n

“[Riis] forced the destruction of rear tenements … [he] wiped out Mulberry Bend, the worst tenement block in the city … won small parks … labored years for enough schools … drove bake shops with their fatal fires out of tenement basements … demanded light for dark tenement hallways … [and] worked for the abolition of child labor.” \u2014Lincoln Steffens, McClure’s Magazine <\/em>and author of The Shame of the Cities<\/em><\/p>\r\n

[Riis’] work did “more to educate the general public on this question [of housing for the poor] than the writings of any other person.”\u00a0\u2014The Tenement House Problem<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
